You then proceeded into a deeper layer of customization, and enabled "MEDIA_TUNER_CUSTOMIZE" -- this option allows you to disable tuner modules that should have otherwise been autoselected for your hardware. I repeat -- this is an advanced customization option, and you have been so warned by its Kconfig description. I am pushing up a patch now that disables MEDIA_TUNER_CUSTOMIZE by default. -Mike _______________________________________________ linux-dvb mailing list linux-dvb@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linux-dvb
